20% is far too generous!! @SouthernWater data says that Upto 70% of EDM signals are modified; many are false alarms! They are also using 12/24 spill accounting - this means multiple spills in any 12h period is counted as ONE spill - the EA demands new. MCERT data every 15 mins

[Prof Alex Ford @DrAlexFord]

Watch this space!

What is required @DefraGovUK :
1) EDM that measures flow volume and not just start/stop
2) Accuracy on EDMs - we predict 20% give inaccurate readings
3) More transparency from the water industry and penalties for lack of transparency.

The failure of water industry privatisation laid bare! How much of your water bill is swallowed up by company debt? Great work by @guardian further exposing the sewage scandal & financial racket of the water industry. Here’s @SouthWestWater’s record. Check the crazy dividends. https://t.co/Cb6U1sMQM7

The Institute of Marine Sciences @portsmouthuni is located at the entrance of Langstone Harbour covering over 2000 hectares of marine habitats. It’s a SSSI, SAC & Ramsar Site making it internationally important plus an excellent location for marine science education and research

@DrAlexFord 20% of bathing waters on @SouthernWater 's patch have been downgraded. TWO BATHING WATERS on their patch have LOST THEIR BLUE FLAG!. Yet SW say their investments has LIFTED water quality to 88%!! #really?

Rumours afoot that Therese Coffey is on her way out as Environment Secretary.

With any luck she'll be replaced with a candidate who will be more dynamic, more proactive and more committed to the job.

For example, this potato.

@DrAlexFord I'm not sure 240 lps. I believe it's nearer to 200 LP's and the 240 relates to a soon to be started "upgrade" ?

[Sewage Watch @SewageWatch]

@stophs2 No surprises there then!!

[Sewage Watch @SewageWatch]

@houghtoncharity @Andrew_Adonis Indeed!!

[Sewage Watch @SewageWatch]

@SouthernWater @HenrikKindstedt This is not rocket science!! Everyone knows about timely updates!! This is not ground breaking stuff and should not be required to be fed back!! @SouthernWater just screwed up again👀🙄

[Prof Alex Ford @DrAlexFord]

If this turns out to be sewage related then it’s a game changer in so many ways!

@SOSWhitstable @SouthernWater Ed, So how did you detect this release? Should @haylingsewagewatch be monitoring outfalls?

They should go to prison .... The quality of their leadership and decision making is clearly suboptimal!

[Sewage Watch @SewageWatch]

This is VERY BAD!

[Prof Alex Ford @DrAlexFord]

That’s not good

We're delighted to announce that today, in collaboration with other water quality campaign groups around the country, we have launched a Public Declaration for Rivers and Seas.

It's time for change 🌊

[Feargal Sharkey @Feargal_Sharkey]

They've already ran off with £72bn of our money, left our rivers full of sewage and abstracted local chalk streams to a point of extinction and to top it all off you're about to face the biggest increase in water bills in 20 years.

And gov approved it.

Well done @PennyMordaunt and @StephenMorganMP for turning out on this important environmental issue.
I find myself wondering which other MP's turn ot to similar events in their constituency. Well done @FinalStrawCIO for making it happen - you're all stars! 😍
